This was a very special season with an outstanding group of girls. They dedicated enormous amounts of time and were very close as a group.
Also, our success this year is directly related to the success we’ve had for years now. As a whole, either an individual or the team has qualified for the State Championships for the past 6 years and 8 of the past 12 years. We take great pride in EVERYTHING we’ve done and accomplished for many years now, and the girls love carrying on the tradition of excellence that has been with us for many many years now.
